1) Faster Blockchain Synchronisation (Yay! )2) Missing admin. and eth. functions while in GETH console mode2a) Format of "admin" and "eth" command response changed!3) No more mined blocks, after many days of trying

#2 -Various command on longer allowed or shortened, e.g.., Previously: admin.miner.start(n) is NOW : miner.start(n)-Also can not unlock account

Question : Is anyone else experiencing this or what part of the standard update via "brew" or "git clone" am I missing?

2) "admin" is still there, but "eth" is now not a property of admin but rather an object itself3) are you trying to CPU-mine on the main testnet chain? As it stands right now, the total hashrate is ~1GH/s (https://stats.ethdev.com/). I'm afraid you won't be able to mine that way any more. Try using a private chain (--networkid )

Thank You Jesus .. for the insight. I clearly (kind of ) figured that mining with my "rig" was not gonna happen anymore.. but was trying to figure out (or search for documentations) that clearly noted command and function changes since 9.27/9.29 as there are a number of things that are not working as previously syntaxed.. like "unlock", unless I'm just lost in the ether .. LOL
